Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
This November 1942 article from Popular Mechanics titled “Miracle on Wheels” featured the jeep and shared some of the success stories from its use internationally. You can read the entire issue on Google or purchase a cheap copy off of eBay
Marc found this interesting photo of a Holden Ambulance jeep during the battle of Saipan on eBay. The text on the back of the photo is hard to read.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Here’s a neat Northern Pacific Railroad ad from the 1952 November issue of the Saturday Evening Post featuring a Willys Hy-Rail Wagon.
I also ran across this Southern Pacific Hi-Rail Wagon from freerails.com:

This looks in good shape.

Sounds like this has some good updates.

“90% original restoration, rebuilt motor, new brakes, seats, summer canvas top. Runs great. Fun to drive around on sunny summer day, gets loads of looks and smiles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000.
Looks like a clean rebuild.
“I am happy to present to you my 1942 Willy’s MB. It has been fully restored to it’s original condition. This fresh restoration includes a complete drive train rebuild by an expert Jeep restorer. The sheet metal is all new, and was purchased from Bensinger Jeep. All canvas is from Beachwood Canvas Works. There are many things I can tell you about this Jeep. Email or call Mike if you are interested or would like to know more about it. Clean title.”
UPDATE: Still Available. This is probably a CJ-3B body on a 3A frame, but could be a 3B with an incorrect title. If not those two, then who knows.
Looks like a good price.
“Restoration project. Brakes, transmission good. Small dents in body. Solid frame. Runs good. New paint. title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. It’s safe to say those are not the ‘original wheels’
